1. Replacing music desk cloth

I've done this before, but it's been a while. I've got a roll of the black ecsaine cloth that PianoTek Supply sells for the job, but the old (worn) cloth just doesn't want to come off! I tore what I could, taken some more off with a scraper and razor blades, but this is a major time sink. The glue is rubbery contact cement. Heat gun? Hair dryer? Solvents?How do you do it?Frustrated,

I recently did this job and used a citrus based solvent I think. Tried using a heat gun but it was heating up the finish . The problem seems to be common on Young Changs and the material makes a real mess. The material that Pianotek sells works real well. Cut it oversized and after glue dries trim with a razor blade or exacto knife

5. RE: Replacing music desk cloth

I've found that most pianos I run across with this problem are church or other heavy use pianos. Rather than replace with a similar material what I use is the anti-slip tape they sell at hardware stores for putting down on concrete, in black. The outdoor version has a rubbery, nubby surface and you'll never have to do the job again.
